What is NAD+?

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important substance found in every cell of your body. It plays a key role in energy production, cell function, and overall health. However, as we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decrease, which can lead to health issues. Recently, NAD+ injections have become popular for their potential benefits, such as anti-aging, better brain function, and support for addiction recovery.

As interest in NAD+ therapy grows, it’s important to know how much NAD+ you need each day and how often you should use it to get the best results while avoiding side effects.

NAD+ Therapy

The amount and frequency of NAD+ injections can vary depending on factors like age, health, and goals. Whether you’re aiming for anti-aging effects, better brain function, or help with addiction, the right dosage depends on your specific needs.

• For Anti-aging: If you're looking for anti-aging benefits, you may start with NAD+ injections 1-2 times a week for a few weeks. Then, the frequency might be reduced to once a month or every other month.
  
  
• For Brain Function: If you're trying to improve mental clarity or memory, a typical schedule might include weekly NAD+ injections for a few weeks, then occasional doses every few months.
  
  
• For Addiction Recovery: In addiction recovery programs, higher doses of NAD+ are often given daily for several weeks to help reduce cravings and support brain health.

The exact frequency will depend on your goals, so it’s a good idea to start with more frequent injections and adjust based on how your body responds.

What Are the Benefits of NAD+?

NAD+ has become popular for its potential to improve overall health and longevity. Some of the benefits of NAD+ include:

• Better Brain Function: NAD+ supports brain health, improves memory, focus, and mental clarity.
  
  
• Improved Athletic Performance: NAD+ boosts energy at the cellular level, helping athletes improve stamina and endurance.
  
  
• Addiction Recovery Support: NAD+ can help restore brain function and reduce cravings in people recovering from substance abuse.
  
  
• Anti-aging: NAD+ supports mitochondrial health, reduces oxidative stress, and promotes DNA repair, all of which help slow aging.

What Affects NAD+ Levels?

Certain lifestyle and health factors can lower your NAD+ levels faster. These include:

• Certain Health Conditions: Conditions like diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases can reduce NAD+ levels.
  
  
• Chronic Stress: Stress uses up more NAD+ to fuel the body’s response, depleting it faster.
  
  
• Poor Sleep: Not getting enough sleep can disrupt NAD+ production.
  
  
• Excessive Alcohol Use: Drinking too much alcohol can strain the liver, which is key to NAD+ production.
  
  
• Chronic Inflammation: Ongoing inflammation in the body can lead to faster NAD+ depletion.
  
  
• Exposure to Toxins: Environmental toxins can damage cells and deplete NAD+ levels.
  
  
• Poor Diet: A lack of nutrients, especially vitamin B3 (niacin), can hinder NAD+ production.

How to Protect Your NAD+ Levels

While you can’t stop NAD+ from naturally decreasing with age, you can take steps to support healthy NAD+ levels:

• Address Inflammation: Work with your doctor to manage conditions that cause chronic inflammation.
  
  
• Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.
  
  
• Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques, exercise, and get enough sleep to reduce stress.
  
  
• Limit Alcohol: Reducing alcohol consumption helps protect the liver and supports NAD+ production.
  
  
• Reduce Toxin Exposure: Avoid pollutants and use natural cleaning products.
  
  
• Eat a Healthy Diet: Make sure your diet includes foods rich in B vitamin s

By taking care of your body with these healthy habits, you can help slow the decline of NAD+ as you age.

What’s the Right Dose of NAD+?

A typical dose of NAD+ is 5-10 mg per day, or 20-50mg three times per week. The right amount for you can depend on your health and goals.

You can take NAD+ in different forms, including:

• IV Infusions: These contain 500 mg of NAD+ mixed with saline, typically given several times over a few weeks. (we don’t offer this one at Transformyou)
  
  
• Injections: You can use a 1000 mg or 2000 mg vial and administer it with a subcutaneous injection using an insulin syringe.
  
  
• Nasal Sprays: These typically contain 30 mg of NAD+ per spray and are used once a day.

The amount of NAD+ used in clinical settings can range from 100 mg to 1,000 mg per day, depending on the treatment. While NAD+ is generally safe, higher doses can cause side effects like fatigue, nausea, or flu-like symptoms.
